Starting in "A Little Rusty', Clay is affected by the Cloud of Monstrox dark magic which is turning him to stone after being hit by the Cloud of Monstrox' evil lightning which also knocked him into a statue causing him and Merlok 2.0 to find a successor until there can be a way to restore him to normal. The transformation is completed in "Rock Bottom" and Aaron covers for Clay until a way to restore Clay to normal can be found.

Outside the Fortrex, his preferred means of travel is his Mecha Steed, a robotic horse that can convert into a motorcycle. Both forms possess a larger version of Lance's trademark weapon. In "Greed is Good?," it was revealed that Lance became a knight because his parents forced him to become one during his childhood instead of becoming a celebrity.

- Merlok 2.0 (voiced by Brian Drummond) - A digital wizard that helps the Knights defeat evil by sending them Nexo Powers. Merlok was originally a flesh-and-blood wizard who was the last wizard in the kingdom of Knighton where he was a member of the Wizards' Council. It was magic that saw the defeat of the monster armies 100 years previously. During this time, he was revealed to have a sister named Wanda Moorington who was also on the Wizards' Council before being turned evil by Monstrox and being petrified by Merlok. Wanda being Merlok's sister makes Merlok the uncle of Clay which he refrained from telling upon gaining custody of him and not wanting to tell him until he was older. At some point, he became friends with King Halbert who would turn to him for wisdom upon becoming King Halbert's royal wizard. When Jestro first allied with the Book of Monsters, Merlok used his magic to drive them out of the capital city. The side effect of this magic caused Merlok to be absorbed into the castle's computers as a result. Fortunately, he was soon discovered by Ava.

Despite his position, he is rather timid and inclined to panic or worry at the first sign of trouble. King Halbert loves his wife and daughter but isn't entirely comfortable with Macy being one of the knights, and wouldn't have allowed her to graduate had it not been for his queen's intervention. Despite this, he does his best to aid the knights in their efforts to protect the kingdom including allowing them to overhaul his "Ye Old Royal RV" into their Fortrex base. King Halbert also commands a large humanoid mech when the need arises for him to go into battle.
- Queen Halbert (voiced by Nicole Oliver) - The Queen of Knighton, King Halbert's wife, and Macy's mother.

In "Storm Over Rock Wood," Dennis quits working for Lance to join Robot Hoodlum's Merry Mechs.

He harbours a hatred for the Nexo Knights in the fourth season due to the fact that they tend to foil his illicit attempts to make money for himself.

Monstrox was an evil arch-necromancer and former member of the Wizards' Council who terrorized Knighton with his monster armies and the Forbidden Powers a century ago prior to the events of the series until Merlok used his all his magic in a potent spell. In addition, he turned Wizards' Council member Wanda Moorington into Ruina Stoneheart. The spell turned Monstrox into a sentient book of dark magic known as the Book of Monsters, containing the essence of his monster army that can be summoned from his pages. Merlok also divided Monstrox's corruptive power among in eleven spellbooks: The Book of Evil, The Book of Chaos, The Book of Fear, The Book of Anger, The Book of Deception, The Book of Destruction, The Book of Revenge, The Book of Greed, The Book of Envy, The Book of Cruelty, and The Book of Betrayal. Out of pride, Merlok did not destroy the books and housed them in his library to study them. At the start of the series, Monstrox is found by Jestro, concealing his true identity while persuading the jester to turn evil to aid him in regaining the books after Merlok sacrificed himself to scatter them across Knighton. In "The Fortrex and the Furious" after Jestro turned on him, Monstrox's true identity is revealed along with his need to possess a host body to regain human form. Monstrox originally intended to possess Jestro, but he decides to use Clay instead in "Kingdom of Heroes" where part of the ritual had Monstrox regurgitating the eleven spellbooks. Though Clay uses the Merlok 2.0-augmented Techcaliber to destroy the Book of Monsters, Monstrox survived and became a cloud-like being called the Cloud of Monstrox. Monstrox uses his lightning to corrupt Jestro again to aid him alongside the Stone Monster Army to retrieve both the cover of his old book body and his staff. Afterwards, the Cloud of Monstrox leads Jestro and the Stone Monster Army into obtaining tablets containing the Forbidden Powers and place them into pillars at the top of Mount Thunderstrox to awaken the Colossus of Ultimate Destruction to destroy Knighton. In "Between a Rock and a Hard Place," the Cloud of Monstrox successfully awakens the Colossus of Ultimate Destruction and possesses it.

After stealing one of Merlok's magic staffs and getting his magic library scattered across the wilds of Knighton, Jestro is guided by Monstrox to retrieve the other books that contain his power. Despite giving in to the Book's pressure and being exposed to the Book of Evil and gaining a monstrous appearance, Jestro harbors doubts about his villainous role before learning he was intended to become Monstrox's new body once he regained his full power. In the season 2 finale, Jestro reforms completely and helps the Nexo Knights save Clay, reverting to his original appearance upon Monstrox's apparent destruction. But in season 3, while making failed attempts to make amends to no avail, Jestro encounters the Cloud of Monstrox who uses his special evil lightning to control Jestro into helping him again. He reforms again after being freed from the Cloud of Monstrox' evil lightning and assists Roberto Arnoldi into cleaning up the shattered Colossus of Ultimate Destruction.

Mobile game
Lego® NEXO Knights(TM): Merlok 2.0 is an action battle mobile game was released for Android and iOS on December 19, 2015. The users has to play through the game to "Save the Kingdom". Each figurine has an accompanying shield. Each shield unlocks a Nexo Power for the user to play with, the more powers that are unlocked the more powerful they become. Later on, Combo Powers were added. Shields could be found in Lego sets, blindbags, and even pictures could be found in magazines. However the game has a fundamental issue in the use of scanning shields as only a picture is needed. Anyone with the ability to access a site such as Brikipedia can find all the pictures of every shield made and can easily scan them into the game without purchasing any of the products. This issue has yet to be fixed.
